Your credit score doesn’t just get you approved for a mortgage — it determines how much that mortgage costs you for the next 30 years. In this episode of The Property Professor, you’ll see exactly what each FICO tier does to your rate, why a single point can move you into a new pricing tier, and the practical moves that can shift your score before you apply.
The difference between a 620 and a 760 score on a $350,000 loan can be over $50,000 in extra interest over the life of the mortgage. If you’re planning to buy in the Greater Phoenix area or anywhere else, head to thepropertyprofessor.blog for the full breakdown, or book a call to run the numbers on your specific situation.
